Instructions d'entretien

Holy Basil thrives in warm, sunny conditions with moderate temperatures. It prefers bright, direct sunlight for several hours a day. The plant should be watered regularly but allowed to dry out partially between waterings. It also benefits from moderate humidity levels.

Récolte

Ocimum tenuiflorum, commonly known as Holy Basil or Tulsi, is typically ready for harvest about 90 days after planting. Harvesting should be done in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day. To harvest, cut the stems just above a pair of leaves to encourage bushier growth. Regular harvesting can promote more vigorous growth and prevent the plant from flowering too early. Leaves can be harvested individually or by cutting entire stems, depending on the intended use. Ensure to leave enough foliage for the plant to continue growing.

Sol

Holy Basil prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with compost or organic matter works well. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.

Engrais

Holy Basil benefits from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 3-1-2. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.

Rempotage

Repot Holy Basil when it outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Holy Basil can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, sow seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them moist until germination. For cuttings, take a healthy stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and place it in water or soil until roots develop.

Taille

Prune Holy Basil regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent it from becoming leggy. Pinch off the tips of the stems and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Pruning also helps to promote flowering.

Toxicité

Holy Basil is not toxic to pets or humans. It is often used in traditional medicine and culinary applications. However, as with any plant, it is best to avoid excessive consumption.

Supplémentaire

Holy Basil is known for its medicinal properties and is often used in herbal teas and remedies. It is believed to have adaptogenic properties, helping the body to cope with stress. Regular harvesting of the leaves can encourage new growth and maintain the plant's health.
